How did I get infected with?

The Briskgram.net adware is not an ingenious virus. It doesn’t target individual users. No, this parasite relies on mass-distribution techniques to reach a broad spectrum of potential victims.

You can prevent the unwanted extras from installing under the advanced setup option. Don’t rush. Take your time to do your due diligence. Read the terms and conditions before you agree to them. If you cannot spend enough time to go through the whole document, scan it with an EULA analyzer. Stop the installation if you notice anything suspicious!
